Samo’s extended family trying out the Lou Yuk at Millenium 86 coffee shop in Paramount Garden.

This is a stall specialising in Lou Ngap (duck braised in soya sauce) and has a good variety of choice morsels from the pig such as Chee Thou Phei (pig’s face), Chee Yue Chai (pig’s ears), Chue Lei (pig’s tongue) and Fah Yuk (pork belly).

The meat dishes are also known as Luk Mei, which meanssix flavours in Cantonese), a term that is now “alien” in the city centre.

The bill came up to RM25 per plate and Pat, my mother in-law, complained that the dark soya sauce was too salty.

“Aiya, this fella ah, his gravy very salty one la!,” she said.

Well, other than the gravy, I would say that the duck meat and the pork were brilliant and would go down well with a chilled glass of beer.

On the Samo-scale, I would rate this Lou Yuk stall a 5.8 out of 10.

Millenium 86 coffee shop opens daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner and the landmark to lookout for is the Post Office in Paramount Garden. From the LRT station, it is roughly a 15-minute brisk walk to this makan place.
